Herman Naptali Hyneman 19th century artist (AMERICAN 1849-1907) “Herman N. Hyneman (1849-1907), a prominent Jewish painter who worked in Paris, Philadelphia, and New York during that era. Noted for his beautiful depictions of women, Hyneman was among the more successful artists working on the East Coast during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Born in Philadelphia, Hyneman reportedly showed great precocity for drawing and eventually attended the Philadelphia Boys Central High School. He never completed his education, instead yearned to be like his cousin, Moses Ezekiel (1844-1917), who had moved permanently to Europe in the late 1860s to work as a sculptor. Bolstered by his cousin’s early success, Hyneman traveled to Europe in 1874, where he began studies with the French artist, Leon Bonnat (1833-1922). Following the completion of his artistic studies in 1882 and for the next three decades, Herman Hyneman exhibited regularly in America at the National Academy, the Salmagundi Club, the Philadelphia Society of Artists, the American Art Association, the American Society of Artists, the Carnegie Institute, and The Art Institute of Chicago. Many of these works were genre scenes of many different varieties, but he also exhibited portraits and an occasional still-life. He is also known to have painted scenes of Coney Island, located along the south shore of Long Island, New York, depicting men, women, and children enjoying the sandy beaches. However, Hyneman is perhaps best known today for his paintings of lovely young women out in the snow, most often depicted with various landmarks located in New York City. These types of paintings were immediately popular, becoming a normal part of the artist’s oeuvre, and during his lifetime were reproduced as postcards, calendars, and in mass-produced prints.” “Herman Naphtali Hyneman, born July 27 1849, was quite an accomplished painter. After studying painting in Germany and France for 8 years, he returned to Philadelphia where he opened an art studio. His works have been displayed in Paris, Philadelphia, and New York City. To this day, several of his paintings are displayed at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and the National Academy of Design in NYC. Some of his paintings can be seen in the American Gallery.” “He was born in Philadelphia a few decades prior to the turn of the century to a wealthy and established Jewish family. He studied in Paris and painted mostly of Paris, New York City and his native Philadelphia. He painted classical and Shakespearean subjects, but his greatest muse was his contemporary, a fellow artist Juliette Joliet Hyneman. Although she did not share his faith, and they married after a long courtship, the husband and wife were inseparable. She often posed for him and is visible in much of his art, albeit with changed hair colors. Although the biggest collections of Hyneman are on Long Island and in Texas, he was very much a New York City artist having made dozens of Hassam-esque city snow scapes. “
